Hi Everyone,

I am a very experienced sewer and over the years have made many bridal gowns. However, I have a client that wants bra cups sewn into her gown. My questions is do I bone the bust seam where I put the cups and how do I attach them?

 

Thank you

Elfy

Re: Sewing a bra cup into a weding gown

Dear Elfy,

Yes you can bone the bust seams.

The best thing is to pin the cups in place when doing the fitting. This way they are positioned in the right place.

Then tack the top and bottom of the cups to the bust seam allowances.

You can tack the sides of the cups in place by attaching them to the interfacing, or any seam allowances close to the sides of the cups.

Hope this helps,

Nehzat
